The Ambler-based organization, featuring board members from all over the county, invites the public to celebrate members of the LGBTQIA+ community.
June is not just the start of summer – it is Pride Month in Lansdale Borough.
The Ambler-based Montgomery County LGBT Business Council will host the Lansdale Pride Walk & Roll in the downtown borough on June 9 at noon, starting at Railroad Plaza. The first Lansdale Pride Walk was in 2016.
After the Walk & Roll, Montco LGBTBC invites the public to Pride in the Plaza, complete with music, food trucks, vendors and members of the LGBTQIA+ community.
The event runs until 3 p.m.
